Additionally, these figures may be this high, due to women being more likely to go to the doctor when there is something wrong with their health, whereas men will put off going to the doctors. The graph below, taken from The Daily Mail, shows ‘The Percentage of Population Using Mental Health Medication’ in America, which supports the argument that women are more likely to develop a mental health disorder compared to men. P3 P3 P3 P3 Those who are in a higher social status or social class, tend to live longer than those who are in the working class, or lower class. According to Equality Human Rights (2014), chapter 6 states that ‘Men in the highest socio-economic class can expect to live around 7 years longer than men in the lower groups. For women, the gap is the same.’ An argument for this set of statistics may be that those in a high social class can afford private healthcare, therefore having access to top medical
Whether the athletes return depends on the quality of treatment and rehabilitation. Different rehabilitation processes can be more effective than others.

Relationship to Background Research This investigation has provided more support that females are more dissatisfied with their bodies than males. This was found in Harner and Adler’s study where the findings showed that women tend to rate their ideal figure much thinner than the figure they perceive themselves to have. The same findings have been discovered in the study conducted by Fallon and Rozin almost 25 years ago as they found that males chose similar figures for their perceived and ideal body shape or chose ideals that were heavier than their current size whereas females would chose a perceived figure that was much heavier than their ideal. The results obtained from this investigation also mirror the ideas put forward in the cultural ideal hypothesis. The difference between the values marked on the scales for perceived and ideal have a greater difference in female participants than with males which shows that while males move
PTSD Case Study Learning Team C PSYCH/515 May 10, 2012 Professor Barbara Steffens Abstract Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that will affect many people every year.

The Impact anti-fat attitudes of healthcare professionals have on patients’ mental and physical wellbeing. Word count: 1733 There is an increasing amount of literature that shows that discrimination against overweight people is extremely common in today’s society. Anti-fat attitudes have been found to be more common than other, more high profiled forms of discriminations, e.g. racism and sexuality. This occurs even though less research has been done on weight prejudice in comparison to sexism and racism (O’Brien et al, 2008).
However, more men drink to medically dangerous levels than females. The contraceptive pill, hormone replacement therapy and hysterectomies carry risks for females. Future. Male and
Theoretical issues are important factors for influencing sociologists’ choice of method when deciding how to research a topic. Although, there are other factors that also have to be considered such as practical and ethical issues. Positivists believe that the method should produce information that is objective as possible but also produce data is representative and reliable that can then be used in statistics for government research but is collected through questionnaires and other quantitative methods. On the other hand, Interpretivists like to look at the qualitative data that includes structured/unstructured interviews and participant observation. This means that the research is more detailed and in depth, but is also more valid.
Suicide rates are higher in the divorced and widowed than in single people, who in turn have higher suicide rates than married people. This protective effect of marriage on suicide is stronger for men than for women, although it is found for both men and women (Gove 1972). The strong association of divorce with suicide is found at the societal level as well as at the individual level. For example, nations with higher divorce rates have higher suicide rates, U.S. states with higher divorce rates have higher suicide rates and, within nations, years with higher divorce rates have higher suicide rates. This association is probably the most robust association found in suicidology.
